History:
Built in 1917, the Camp Grayling Officer’s Club, and the land of which it is constructed, were given to the State of Michigan by Rasmus Hanson, a successful Grayling businessman, who made his fortune in the white pine forests. In 1913, he also donated 13,760 acres of land to the state for training the militia, which became known as the Hanson Grant.
